    Yes, but my guess as always the case, when you tell a child no, they must taste it. I think there was enough choices that those who were Jewish, could still find enough food to eat. If you also noted there was pork as well '

    I still think you should think about editing. I have corrected my error

    Yes, everyone had an enjoyable holiday. It gave them a chance to meet all of their friends

    Think, the Father of a King or a multi-millionaire. What guiding responsibilities must Adam assume

    The old regime pretended to have staff, water bills, inflated laundry bills. all to pass more money into their coffers. The whole past regime. supported by the Trustees, were on a program of robbing the Academy.

    You are right in that you could make a grilled cheese sandwich a pizza sandwich. You would have to replace the tomato with a tomato sauce or at least a tomato paste.

    She had the clinic to run and didn't want to leave that.

    The Holidays were fantastic. We had an early Christmas at the cabin. Then we flew to Liechtenstein for the rest of the holidays. The boys were great. Gunther was there, and he showed the boys around. I was surprised some of my new sons knew German. Marie and I had to attend several parties. I said had to, Marie said you must. Gerry was all smiles. What do you give a king for Christmas? I gave Gerry a plaque that summed up my philosophy on teaching and life. “This is you. This is what you do

    I hope there isn't anything to upset their apple cart. When everything seems to go well, something pops up.

    Pretend you are one of the boys and when Adam gives the boys a hug or kiss on the head, shut your eyes and concentrate on what Adam is doing, if you try hard, you will feel like the boys. The mind is a marvelous organ, it can create feelings

    Chapter 130

    When you are separated from your family for long periods of time, as these boys are, they will look for an adult for guidance and attention. The creation of the Knights of the Square Table is a stroke of genius. And now we see how the Knights pay Adam back for his love and concern for their welfare. If I was Adam, I would have cried as well.

    That would be nice. Definitely needs to be appropriate framed

    Out of all of this activity, even though Adam appreciated the responses, Able was the one to make him feel the deepest.

    The painting by Able was a stroke of genius. For the first time, Adam has a tangible object showing the love of his Knights. I'm, sure every time he looks at that painting, he will remember his Knights and especially Able.

    The boys’ adoption was completed. I did find out their real names, and that became their middle name. All of the Knights celebrated at Dinner with a special meal that Caleb prepared for us. I had four happy boys, and yes, Gerry did check my heart. I had only one wish, and that was that I could include Gerry with these four. Later, when I was alone in my office, Gerry came and sat on my lap. “What you did was a good thing,” “Yes, but I wished I could have made that five instead of 4.”

    I use a grammar check but then I usually re-read what I post. Sometimes I miss the obvious and almost all ways miss those that are wrong tense or a word that sounds the same but isn't spelled correctly for the context of the sentence. I go back and correct those you find. For that, thank-you

    Absolutely, and you can guess what they will find,

    You do realize you were complimented in two ways, one was your attendance of foreign students and two, they attested to your approach to teaching. I'm guessing you felt a little of what Adam is feeling.

    Make sure you and others wear a mask when you meet other people. Minimize your risks until you are able to be inoculated
